After 9 goalless matches, Orenburg loans Ivan Ignatyev to Arsenal Tula

Orenburg has officially announced another outgoing transfer. The 27-year-old forward Ivan Ignatyev is leaving the «gas workers» squad. He joined Orenburg last summer after moving from the Algerian club Kabylie (according to Transfermarkt, for €180,000).

Now, until the end of the season, Ignatyev will play on loan for Tula Arsenal in the Football National League (FNL), where he will reunite with a coach who knows him well. Arsenal is headed by Dmitry Gunko, who worked with Ignatyev at the Armenian club Urartu (16 matches – 13 goals), and perhaps this will help the forward revive his career once again.

56.RU has already reported how Ivan Ignatyev showed great promise in his youth, and how it all fell short by half: here, a car accident, problems with alcohol, and… a hat-trick for Orenburg. In the current season with the «gas workers», the forward played 9 matches, none of which were full games, totaling only 250 minutes of play. Ignatyev did not score any goals or make any assists, plus in a match against Pari NN, he failed to convert a penalty.

As for other transfers of Orenburg, there is currently a lull in new moves (apart from the possible buyout of Ruslan Kul from Shinnik, and the trial of Renat Golubin from KAMAZ): as 56.RU reported, the team has been joined by Alexis Cantero, John Palacios, and Damian Puebla (plus on trial – Yevgeny Zamerets from KAMAZ, as well as Tigran Avanesyan from the same Tula Arsenal, Roman Eremenko did not make it to Turkey).

Departures – Georgy Zotov, Henri Chichinadze, Atsamaz Revazov, Timofey Martynov, Vladislav Davydov, Vyacheslav Korobov, Daniil Antsiperov (the last three – from the «second team») plus with the second squad, those whom Ildar Akhmetzyanov does not count on are preparing for the season – Nikolay Sysuev, Vladislav Kamilov, Nikolay Koserik, and Stepan Oganesyan.

Update:

Vladislav Kamilov returned to Ufa.
